"The reader is impressed by how much scholarly writing has been devoted to the subject of popular music in France during the past sixty years. In the 24 studies and introductory essays constituting this volume, almost every statement is backed by some form of documentation. Each study and the whole book are accompanied by an extensive bibliography. Also noteworthy is the fluidity of the terminology used to designate the various genres of popular music, the same words meaning different things to different people."

« Y a-t-il quelque chose de spécifiquement français dans la musique française ? » Ainsi s’ouvre Made in France, dirigé par Gérôme Guibert et Catherine Rudent. L’intérêt de ce recueil est, d’une part, de poser la question dans le champ des musiques populaires … D’autre part, l’étude porte sur une période riche en révolutions sociales, culturelles et économiques, allant de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle à nos jours. Mais pas question ici de tirer des conclusions définitives au sujet d’un phénomène aussi dynamique que celui de la musique populaire française. Il s’agit au contraire d’en dresser un portrait « cubiste » aux problématiques multiples – sociologiques, musicologiques, esthétiques, technologiques, idéologiques et littéraires. Cette pluridisciplinarité des articles compilés offre une richesse bibliographique que nous saluerons dès à présent : Made in France est une synthèse de facto incontournable des différentes traditions de la recherche française sur sa culture musicale nationale.
